LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
Orbital Eccentricity as a probe of Thick Disk Formation Scenarios
Laura V. Sales, Amina Helmi, Mario G. Abadi +7
We study the orbital properties of stars in four (published) simulations of thick disks formed by: i) accretion from disrupted satellites, ii) heating of a pre-existing thin disk b…
The Orbital Evolution Induced by Baryonic Condensation in Triaxial Halos
M. Valluri, V. P. Debattista, T. Quinn +1
Using spectral methods, we analyse the orbital structure of prolate/triaxial dark matter (DM) halos in N-body simulations to understand the processes that drive the evolution of sh…
Stochasticity in N-body Simulations of Disc Galaxies
J. A. Sellwood, Victor P. Debattista
We demonstrate that the chaotic nature of N-body systems can lead to macroscopic variations in the evolution of collisionless simulations containing rotationally supported discs. T…
Cold Dark Matter Substructure and Galactic Disks II: Dynamical Effects of Hierarchical Satellite Accretion
Stelios Kazantzidis, Andrew R. Zentner, Andrey V. Kravtsov +2
(Abridged) We perform dissipationless N-body simulations to elucidate the dynamical response of thin disks to bombardment by cold dark matter (CDM) substructure. Our method combine…
A dark matter disc in the Milky Way
J. I. Read, V. Debattista, O. Agertz +4
Predicting the local flux of dark matter particles is vital for dark matter direct detection experiments. To date, such predictions have been based on simulations that model the da…
